To my untrained ears, and only according to my humble and probably incorrect opinion, Waterloo Road also seems to ave been covered, as "Rainbow" or "Niji" 'composed' by Tomohiko Niizawa (or Nizawa) in 1995, which became a hit sung by Tsuyoshi Tsuruno recently (writing in 2016) in the wake of the Kumamoto earthquake and subsequent torrential rain. After the rain comes "Ah a rainbow, Ah a rainbow" --Timtak (talk) 02:54, 17 July 2016 (UTC)

Doubts on notability: do keep it anyway
At least one person seems to think this band is not well known enough for a Wikipedia article. I'm not aware of the exact notability guidelines for bands, but I would keep it. I think the fact that they wrote the original for the hit song Aux Champs-Élysées alone is enough for notability. Maybe it's their only major achievement - well, in that case Joe Dassin pushed them into notability with his hipster attitude, but that makes no difference.

 * That notice has been there since 2008 and no-one's done anything about it. I think it's probably safe to remove it. — Jon C.  ॐ  20:31, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Did they really write that song?
Here it states: "His words for "Les Champs-Elysées," published in 1969 by Intersong Music, were adapted from the English-language lyrics to the song "Waterloo Road," which was written by Michael Antony Deighan, with music by Michael Wilshaw." As far as I can see none of the Jason Crest's members name is Michael, so somebody outside that band has written the song. --89.204.137.137 (talk) 08:29, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
